@MrSslee, can't compare PPHB with Insas. PPHB smaller capital base, less free float, controlling shareholders own more than 33%, Company can do SBB. Insas share price been suppressed. Although Insas' is much superior, PPHB share price can overtake Insas because Insas just isn't performing.

Ninja still recording operating loss, that's why listing deferred until such time there's profit. Just checked Ninja Van is regional operating in Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Philippines, Burma. Might enter China?

I bought Insas at 65-66 sen in 4 tranches from June to Nov 2016 and sold off all at 1.06 and 1.10 in 2 tranches in June/July 2017, that's a gain 66%. Even received a 1 sen dividend. Sometime this year I started buying back at 80 sen down to 77 sen. Sometimes timing is important to maximize gain rather than buy and hold for forever. Insas has been good to me and will be good to me again.

I found an old posting of mine way, way back in 2018.

@MrSslee, let SBagan price cool off first. Any huge special dividend will only be declared months later after OCBC Bank completed the general offer of Great Eastern shares. Short term players have taken position last Friday and they will eventually sell. I feel best not to rush in and wait for price to fall back and stabilize. Monday price might spike based on The Edge write up.

In his mind Thong could be thinking that the minority shareholders didn't contribute to enhance Insas' value so they don't deserve it.

When Thong exercises 230 million warrants he is obliged to make a mandatory general offer (MGO) for all Insas shares at 90 sen per share. As the MGO will fail Thong will only own slightly above 50%. Insas share price can continue to be suppressed thereafter for several years until one day Thong will propose a Selective Capital Repayment to privatize Insas.

The idea of Thong exercising 230 million warrants at exercise price of 90 sen is to take his shareholding over 50% in a blink of an eye. This is the cheapest method for him to cement his hold on Insas officially. After that he will privatize Insas and own Insas 100%.
